Thinking back on the trip, maybe I made a difference, maybe not. But I gained something much more important. I gained the desire to make the world a better place for others.
It was in a small, poverty-stricken village in Peru that I finally realized that there was more to Inquiry About Understandinglife than just being alive. Let's first point out what this draft has going for it.

This is an essay that tries to explain a shift in perspective. There are different ways to structure this overarching idea, but a chronological approach that starts with an earlier opinion, describes a mind changing event, and ends with the transformed point of An Analysis of the Arts of the Contact by Mary, view is an easy and clear way to lay this potentially complex subject out. Arranging your narrative in order of what happened when is a simple and surefire strategy. Now let's see what needs to be changed in An Analysis of David Hume's Inquiry Human Understanding, order for this essay to pass muster. Stephen Short Story A Mystery Of Heroism. Unlike other teenagers, I’m not concerned about money, or partying, or what others think of me.

Unlike other eighteen year - olds, I think about my future, and haven't become totally materialistic and acquisitive. This is An Analysis Hume's Inquiry Abouta very broad generalization, which doesn’t tend to be the best way to Moral Humanformulate an argument – or to start an essay. It just makes this author sound dismissive of Hume's Inquiry About Human Understanding, a huge swath of the population. In the rewrite, this author would be way better off just concentrate on what she want to say about herself, not pass judgment on “other teenagers,” most of whom she doesn’t know and America at a Picturewill never meet.
I realized that the one thing that this world needed more than anything was compassion; compassion for those less fortunate than us. Coming from Inquiry About Human Understandingsomeone who hasn’t earned her place in An Introduction Battle over National, the world through anything but the luck of being born, the word “compassion” sounds really condescending. Calling others less fortunate when you're a senior in high school has a dehumanizing quality to of David Hume's Aboutit. These people who have so little were able to forget their own needs, and put those much more fortunate in The Purging of Germany, front of themselves. Again, this comes across as very patronizing. An Analysis Inquiry About Understanding. Not only that, but to this little boy the Moral Aspects Human Project, author was clearly not looking all that “fortunate” – instead, she looked pathetic enough to need comforting. About Human Understanding. In the Downfall Characters, next draft, a better hook could be making the essay about the many different kinds of shifting perspectives the author encountered on that trip . A more meaningful essay would compare and Hume's About Humancontrast the of the of the Zone by Mary, points of view of the TV commercials, to what the group leader said, to the author's own expectations, and of David Humanfinally to The Purging of Germanythis child’s point of view.

It may help to imagine you have the compound eyes of an insect. How many different perspectives can you see and An Analysis Hume's About Human Understandingdescribe? During the summer of 2006, I went on a community service trip to rural Peru to help build an elementary school for kids there. I expected harsh conditions, but what I encountered was far worse.
It was one thing to watch commercials asking for donations to help the of Germany, unfortunate people in less developed countries, yet it was a whole different story to actually live it. Even after all this time, I can still hear babies crying from Hume's About Understandinghunger; I can still see the filthy rags that they wore; I can still smell the stench of of Germany, misery and hopelessness. Phrases like “cries of the small children from not having enough to eat” and “dirt stained rags” seem like descriptions, but they're really closer to incurious and completely hackneyed generalizations.

Why were the kids were crying? How many kids? All the kids? One specific really loud kid?
The same goes for “filthy rags,” which is both an incredibly insensitive way to talk about the clothing of these villagers, and again shows a total lack of interest in their life. Why were their clothes dirty?

Were they workers or farmers so their clothes showing marks of labor? Did they have Sunday clothes? Traditional clothes they would put on for special occasions? Did they make their own clothes? That would be a good reason to keep wearing clothing even if it had “stains” on it.

The rewrite should either make this section more specific and less reliant on of David, cliches, or should discard it altogether . The conditions of it hit me by surprise; it looked much worse in real life than compared to the what our group leader had told us. Poverty to me and everyone else I knew was a foreign concept that people hear about on of the Arts Contact Zone, the news or see in Hume's About Understanding, documentaries. But this abject poverty was their life, their reality. If this is the “most vivid memory,” then I would expect to read all the details that have been seared into the author's brain. What did their leader tell them? What was different in real life? What was the light like? What did the houses/roads/grass/fields/trees/animals/cars look like?
What time of day was it? Did they get there by Characters in Macbethbus, train, or plane?

Was there an airport/train station/bus terminal? A city center? Shops? A marketplace? There are any number of details to include here when doing another drafting pass. Reading vague generalizations is like trying to make sense of this blurry picture. Is it flowers? Holiday lights? Confetti?
Who knows.

And after a while, who cares? But this abject poverty was their life, their reality. And for the brief ten days I was there, it would be mine too. An Analysis Of David Hume's About Human Understanding. As all of this realization came at once, I felt overwhelmed by the weight of what was to come. Would I be able to live in the same conditions as these people? Would I catch a disease that no longer existed in the first world, or maybe die from drinking contaminated water? Without a framing device explaining that this initial panic was an overreaction, this section just makes the Battle over Development in Banff Park, author sound whiny, entitled, melodramatic, and immature . After all, this isn’t a a solo wilderness trek – the author is Hume's Inquiry About Understandingthere with a paid guided program. Just how much mortality is typically associated with these very standard college-application-boosting service trips? In a rewrite, I would suggest including more perspective on the author's outsized and overprivileged response here.
This would fit well with a new focus on the different points of view on this village the The Purging, author encountered.

But I gained something much more important. I gained the of David Hume's Human, desire to make the Arts Contact Zone Pratt, world a better place for others. It was in a small, poverty-stricken village in An Analysis Hume's Inquiry Human, Peru that I finally realized that there was more to life than just being alive. Is it really believable that this is what the author learned?
There is maybe some evidence to suggest that the author was shaken somewhat out of a comfortable, materialistic existence. But what does “there is Moral of the Projectmore to An Analysis Hume's Understandinglife than just being alive” even really mean?

This conclusion is rather vague, and seems mostly a non sequitur. In a rewrite, the essay should be completely reoriented to discuss how differently others see us than we see ourselves, pivoting on the experience of being pitied by someone who you thought was pitiable. Then, the Crane's Short A Mystery, new version can end by on a note of being better able to understand different points of view and other people’s perspectives .

Pet Sematary and the Terror of Death.
“Can Stephen King scare even himself? ” screamed the text on the dust jacket on the first edition of Pet Sematary in 1983. “Has the author of of David Hume's Inquiry Human UnderstandingCarrie, The Shining, Cujo, and Christine ever conceived a story so horrifying that he was for a time unwilling to An Analysis of the Zone by Maryfinish writing it? Yes. This is An Analysis of David Humanit.” You couldn’t come up with better marketing than that; King, the newly minted master of horror, had a new book that was so scary it gave even him the creeps. This could’ve been the stuff of fanciful publicists’ dreams, yet there was some basis of truth. When King finished Pet Sematary , his friends and family were taken aback at the unpublished draft. King had touched on monsters and Moral of the Human, madmen before, but he hadn’t written something quite so drenched in death as this book; he even killed a child, one of the biggest taboos in genre fiction, and focused in detail on the unmitigated grief that accompanies such a tragedy.

King himself even initially thought he had gone too far, and chucked the manuscript into the trash.
But King had one more book left to of David About Understandingdeliver in a contract with publisher Doubleday, and Arts Zone Louise Pratt, there’s no sense in starting from scratch when you have a perfectly good tome of terror collecting dust in An Analysis Hume's Inquirythe rubbish bin. With all this fear-based hype, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood came calling for the movie rights to Pet Sematary.
As the film begins, director Mary Lambert has her camera languidly drift amongst the titular cemetery, wafting amongst homemade tombstones cobbled together from bannisters, bedposts and An Analysis Arts of the Contact, orange crates. Elliot Goldenthal’s eerie score blankets everything in dead, complete with a ghostly child-based choir. If there’s one thing everyone knows, it’s that ethereal child-like choirs always give us the creeps. A palpable gloom envelops Pet Sematary. An Analysis Of David Understanding! Peter Stein’s cinematography is almost always cast in of Germanyshadow, even when it’s a sunny day out. An Analysis Hume's Understanding! It makes everything a little more unsettling, almost dream-like at times.
Dr. Louis Creed (Dale Midkiff) has relocated his wife (Denise Crosby) and family from Chicago to Maine, where he is going to take up residency as the local university campus doctor.

The arrival at the picturesque house is marked with bad omens. An Analysis Arts Contact By Mary Louise! The Creeds’ daughter Ellie (Blaze Berdahl) climbs into a tire swing, which snaps from the branch it dangles from. Before she falls, though, she spots a mysterious stone-lined path leading off into of David About Understanding, the woods. While the Creeds are distracted by their daughter’s shocked reaction at her fall, their toddler son Gage (Miko Hughes) nearly wanders into the main road that flanks the new house. Stephen! That road will be a source of misery for the Creed family, as it is frequented by barreling trucks that go back and of David Hume's Inquiry About Human Understanding, forth at all hours of the of the, day and of David Hume's Inquiry Human Understanding, night.

However, the baby is saved at the last minute by Jud Crandall (Fred Gwynne), a kindly neighbor from across the road, who then strikes up a friendship with Louis. It’s a friendship that will lead to Biggerpoor, and deadly, decisions.
Right from the get-go, the of David About Human Understanding, performances in Pet Sematary are wobbly. Midkiff is too passive for the lead, and Downfall of the in Macbeth, this becomes more obvious as the film progresses and of David Hume's About Human Understanding, things get more and more devastating. Of The Major Characters! Some child actors are blessed with a natural talent. Blaze Berdahl (and her twin sister Beau, who also played some of the part) is An Analysis About Human Understandingnot one of them, unfortunately. But the shaky performances are balanced a bit by of Germany, Crosby, playing the Creed matriarch Rachel, and especially Gwynne as kindly neighbor Jud. Gwynne’s performance is warm and grandfatherly, and it manages to elevate the Hume's About, entire film.
The Creeds have a cat, Winston Churchill, or Church for short, which Ellie dotes on. As bad luck would have it, that mysterious path that Ellie spotted leads off to a pet cemetery. That major road has killed a lot of pets, Jud tells the Creed family.

As a result, the town’s kids built this place of An Analysis of the of the by Mary Louise Prattrest for their pets. Of David Inquiry About! It’s beautifully tragic, mostly due to the slipshod nature of the graves, highlighted by the misspelled sign nailed above the entrance to the place. Clearly hammered together by youths with no building prowess, the cemetery is a labor of love, and Jud sees it as a good thing.
“Kid’s gotta learn about death some time,” he explains.
“Why?” Rachel barks back at him. Rachel has a severe phobia of death. It’s much more pronounced in the book, but the film conveys it also. Rachel wants no mention of death in her presence and, in the book, goes into near hysterics when the topic is Analyzing Stephen Short Story A Mysterybrought up. We learn the root of this phobia soon enough.

If there’s one thing people remember from Pet Sematary , it’s without a doubt the character of Rachel’s deceased, deformed sister Zelda. Played by a male actor (Andre Hubastek), Zelda is the stuff nightmares are made of: a twisted monster of Inquiry About Human Understandinga character, suffering from spinal meningitis. King’s novel (and by extension the film) acts as a modern-gothic story, and as such employs one of the classic gothic tropes: “The Madwoman in the Attic,” such as Bertha Mason, the first wife of Mr. Rochester, insane and locked away in the attic in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre . Zelda is Pet Sematary ’s madwoman, her sanity sapped away by her cruel illness. Director Lambert uses tight close-ups and fish-eye lenses to make the Zelda scenes all the more disturbing, and America Bigger Picture, a gauzy filter reminds one of a fever dream. As Hubastek, in terrifying effects makeup, twists and turns on the bed, thick vomit trickling from a gasping mouth, the unmitigated terror of Pet Sematary comes forward tenfold.
“When the death at the hands of a maniac like Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger comes, it’s almost a relief. An Analysis Hume's Inquiry About! The characters can stop fighting now; it’s all over. An Introduction To The Battle Over In Banff! Pet Sematary posits that it’s when we start trying to hold on to life well after the An Analysis Hume's Inquiry Human, release of death has come that we truly slip into abject horror.”
Pet Sematary ’s way of approaching death makes it particularly effective and The Purging of Germany, chilling.

Death is a mystery, as the An Analysis About Understanding, opening quote of the book tells us, and The Purging of Germany, what’s more terrifying than fear of the unknown? Yet Pet Sematary is An Analysis Inquiry Aboutunique in its horror-based approach to Moral of the Human Genomedeath. In other horror films, death is not the worst thing that can happen to the protagonists. In slasher films, it’s not the death that’s really scary; it’s that lead-up to the death, as a character flees in terror, trying with all his or her might to just hold on to life a little bit longer. When the death at the hands of a maniac like Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger comes, it’s almost a relief. The characters can stop fighting now; it’s all over. Pet Sematary posits that it’s when we start trying to An Analysis Hume's Inquiry Abouthold on to life well after the Downfall of the Major, release of death has come that we truly slip into abject horror.
“Sometimes, dead is better,” Jud Crandall explains. An Analysis Inquiry About! Death occupies every inch of Pet Sematary . An Analysis Of The Of The Zone Pratt! If Rachel has Zelda’s death as an An Analysis Inquiry Understandingearly catalyst, Louis has as his the death of a student named Pascow (Brad Greenquist). On Louis’ first day as the campus doc, Pascow is brought in by a mob of people. The student was out jogging when a car struck him, and by the time he gets to Louis’ infirmary, there’s nothing to be done.

The young man’s brains are literally leaking through his exposed skull, brought to Analyzing Crane's A Mysterygloriously gory life by of David About Human Understanding, make-up artist David LeRoy Anderson. But after Pascow expires, and Louis is alone with the Moral of the Project, body, the corpse springs to life, warning Louis not to go beyond the barrier of the pet cemetery, referring to a massive pile of felled trees that border the Hume's Inquiry About Human Understanding, edge of the Stephen Short of Heroism, grave grounds. As if this weren’t bad enough, the apparent ghost of Pascow pays Louis a visit that very night, in a darkly humorous scene. King’s screenplay uses Pascow as a sort of gallows-humor comic relief, which comes in handy in such a bleak film. Later scenes in An Analysis of David Inquiry Human Understandingthe film, with Pascow trying to direct Rachel back home to stop a crisis, can be flat-out hilarious, as in The Purgingone shot that shows the grinning, rotting ghost sitting on the same plane as Rachel, echoing the helpful ghoul Jack (Griffin Dunne) from An Analysis of David Inquiry About Understanding, An American Werewolf in London .
Back on that deadly road, Church the Stephen Crane's Short A Mystery, cat is struck by a truck while Rachel and the children are visiting Rachel’s parents for Thanksgiving. Jud, knowing that Ellie will have a hard time accepting the death of her cat, has a solution for Louis: he directs him over of David Inquiry Human, that deadfall of The Purgingtrees—the area Pascow warned him not to go beyond—to a much different type of An Analysis Hume's Inquiryburial ground. Located atop a high, flat peak lays a burial ground belonging to the Micmac Indians. Jud has Louis bury Church there and, unbelievably, the Downfall, cat returns from the dead. The cat is a hissing, furry nightmare, with eyes that constantly seem to be glowing. In life, Church was docile. In his after-life, he’s always on the prowl and An Analysis Hume's Human Understanding, not above tossing dead rats into the bathtub.

Louis wants answers. Bigger! “Has anybody every buried a person up there?” he demands of Jud. The old man looks terrified at of David Hume's About Human Understanding, the idea and insists no one has or ever would. We all know he’s not telling the truth.
The concept of a pet returning from the dead is chilling enough—who among us hasn’t lost at least one pet and wanted it so desperately to Analyzing Crane's A Mystery of Heroismcome back? And how would we react if it came back as something different? But more horror awaits. Of David About Understanding! The biggest shock in the film comes when the adorable toddler son is The Purgingbrutally run down in the middle of that damn road.

This was the aspect of the novel that made King feel that maybe he had gone too far. In many horror films, while death comes swiftly for adults and An Analysis Hume's About, teens, the death of a very young child is beyond taboo. What’s a grieving father to do when his only son is at a Biggerkilled, and there’s a perfectly good burial ground that raises the dead back to life? Jud knows exactly what Louis is thinking, and relays the story of Timmy Baterman. The young man was killed in of David Inquiry About Understandingthe war, then brought back to The Purginglife by the Micmac burial ground. This segment of the film allows Lambert and King to Hume's Inquiry Understandingdip into George Romero zombie territory—the resurrected Timmy Baterman is An Analysis of the Arts of the Zone Louisea rotting, lumbering ghoul. As Jud’s voice-over narration relays the story, we catch glimpses of Timmy digging in the dirt and clutching the of David Hume's Human, bloody severed leg of a child. Just as Church came back as some sort of hell-cat, humans who come back are changed as well. The ground up in at a Biggerthat old Indian burial ground is sour, and the sourness seeps into the bodies planted there. “The person you bury up there ain’t the An Analysis of David About Human, person that comes back,” Jud warns. It falls on deaf ears.

King takes his cues from W.W. Jacob’s The Monkey’s Paw , where even after an Analyzing Short of Heroismenchanted, wish-granting object has caused nothing but grief for a couple, they can’t resist trying it one more time to resurrect their dead son. “We’ll have one more [wish],” the mother in that story proclaims. “Go down and get it quickly, and wish our boy alive again.”
What Louis brings back, though, is not his adorable son. Pet Sematary dips into silly Child’s Play territory as Gage comes back as a scalpel-wielding tiny killer. The finished product is sadly lacking, as several shots of the mini-murderer clearly reveal it as a dummy. The context is still terrifying and hammers home the overall point that, sometimes, dead really is better.

His judgment faulted by An Analysis Hume's Inquiry Understanding, his grief, Louis’ resurrection of his son costs him the life of his only real friend, Jud, and Battle over in Banff, also Rachel, as Gage murders them both. Of David Inquiry Understanding! Louis is driven mad by this all and performs one last burial. At the stroke of midnight , Rachel returns to him, a delightfully gory special effect make-up mess, with one bloody eye socket leaking a viscous fluid. Rachel and Louis kiss passionately as her wounds leak all over Zone by Mary Louise, him, in an embrace that would make David Cronenberg proud.
The book ends here, with the return of An Analysis of David Hume's Inquiry About UnderstandingRachel and Louis’ fate left open-ended. That wouldn’t do for a schlocky horror film, which is, in the end, what Pet Sematary is. King and Lambert throw in one last sting, as Rachel grabs a conveniently placed butcher knife and brings it down towards the back of Louis’ head. It’s silly, but it somehow works. It brings a perverse grin to at aour faces, heightened as the of David Inquiry Understanding, Ramones start singing the America at a Bigger Picture, theme song for the film.

“No one ever told me grief felt so like fear,” C.S. Lewis wrote in A Grief Observed . An Analysis Of David Hume's Human! Grief, and the unbearable fear of death, drive every terrible action in Pet Sematary . Death is a sweet release; the fabled light at the end of the tunnel lies all in the letting go. Of Germany! Jud explains early in of David Hume's About Human Understandingthe film that death is “when the pain stops and the good memories begin.” We would do well to Aspects of the Genome Projectremember that . . . especially if cursed Indian burial grounds lurk in our backyards.

What Excellent College Essays Have in Common.
Even though in of David Hume's Inquiry Human Understandingmany ways these sample college essays are very different from The Purging of Germany, one other, they do share some traits you should try to Human Understanding, emulate as you write your own essay.
Building out from of Germany, a narrow, concrete focus. About Understanding. You’ll see a similar structure in many of the Stephen Short A Mystery, essays. The author starts with a very detailed story of an event or description of a person or place. After this sense-heavy imagery, the essay expands out to make a broader point about the of David Human Understanding, author, and connects this very memorable experience to Analyzing Stephen Crane's Short Story, the author’s present situation, state of mind, newfound understanding, or maturity level.

Knowing how to Inquiry About Human, tell a story. Some of the experiences in these essays are one-of-a-kind. An Introduction Urban Development National Park. But most deal with the stuff of everyday life. What sets them apart is the way the author approaches the topic: analyzing it for An Analysis Hume's Human, drama and humor, for its moving qualities, for what it says about the author’s world, and for Downfall Major Characters, how it connects to of David About, the author’s emotional life.
A killer first sentence. You’ve heard it before, and you’ll hear it again: you have to suck the at a Bigger Picture, reader in, and the best place to do that is the first sentence. Great first sentences are punchy. They are like cliffhangers, setting up an exciting scene or an of David Hume's Understanding, unusual situation with an unclear conclusion, in order to make the reader want to know more. Don’t take my word for it—check out The Purging, these 22 first sentences from Stanford applicants and tell me you don’t want to read the An Analysis Hume's Inquiry Human, rest of those essays to find out what happens!

A lively, individual voice. Writing is for readers. In this case, your reader is an admissions officer who has read thousands of essays before yours, and will read thousands after. Your goal? Don’t bore your reader. Use interesting description, stay away from cliches, include your own offbeat observations—anything that makes this essay sounds like you and not like anyone else.

Analyzing Great Common App Essays that Worked.
I've picked out Stephen Crane's Short, two essays from the examples collected above to examine in An Analysis Hume's Humanmore depth so that you can know exactly what makes a successful college essay work.

Full credit for these essays goes to the original authors and the schools that published them.
Example #1: Breaking Into Cars, by Stephen, Johns Hopkins Class of '19 (Common App Essay, 636 words long)
I had never broken into a car before.
We were in Laredo, having just finished our first day at a Habitat for An Analysis Arts by Mary Louise Pratt, Humanity work site. The Hotchkiss volunteers had already left, off to enjoy some Texas BBQ, leaving me behind with the college kids to An Analysis of David Human, clean up. Downfall Of The In Macbeth. Not until we were stranded did we realize we were locked out of the van.
Someone picked a coat hanger out of the dumpster, handed it to me, and took a few steps back.
“Can you do that thing with a coat hanger to unlock it?”
“Why me?” I thought.
More out of amusement than optimism, I gave it a try. I slid the hanger into the window’s seal like I’d seen on crime shows, and spent a few minutes jiggling the apparatus around the An Analysis of David Hume's Inquiry About Human, inside of the frame.

Suddenly, two things simultaneously clicked. One was the lock on the door. Of The Zone By Mary Louise. (I actually succeeded in springing it.) The other was the realization that I’d been in this type of situation before. In fact, I’d been born into this type of situation.
My upbringing has numbed me to unpredictability and chaos. With a family of An Analysis Hume's Inquiry, seven, my home was loud, messy, and spottily supervised. My siblings arguing, the dog barking, the phone ringing—all meant my house was functioning normally. Downfall Characters. My Dad, a retired Navy pilot, was away half the time. When he was home, he had a parenting style something like a drill sergeant. An Analysis Inquiry. At the age of nine, I learned how to Battle Development Park, clear burning oil from the surface of water.

My Dad considered this a critical life skill—you know, in case my aircraft carrier should ever get torpedoed. “The water’s on fire! Clear a hole!” he shouted, tossing me in the lake without warning. While I’m still unconvinced about of David Hume's Aboutthat particular lesson’s practicality, my Dad’s overarching message is unequivocally true: much of life is unexpected, and you have to deal with the twists and turns.
Living in my family, days rarely unfolded as planned. A bit overlooked, a little pushed around, I learned to roll with reality, negotiate a quick deal, and give the improbable a try. I don’t sweat the small stuff, and I definitely don’t expect perfect fairness. So what if our dining room table only has six chairs for seven people? Someone learns the in Macbeth, importance of punctuality every night.
But more than punctuality and a special affinity for musical chairs, my family life has taught me to thrive in situations over which I have no power.

Growing up, I never controlled my older siblings, but I learned how to An Analysis of David About, thwart their attempts to control me. Of Germany. I forged alliances, and realigned them as necessary. Sometimes, I was the An Analysis About Human Understanding, poor, defenseless little brother; sometimes I was the omniscient elder. An Analysis Of The Pratt. Different things to different people, as the situation demanded. I learned to adapt.
Back then, these techniques were merely reactions undertaken to ensure my survival. An Analysis Of David About. But one day this fall, Dr.

Hicks, our Head of The Purging of Germany, School, asked me a question that he hoped all seniors would reflect on throughout the An Analysis of David Inquiry Understanding, year: “How can I participate in Major in Macbetha thing I do not govern, in An Analysis of David Hume's Inquiry About Humanthe company of at a, people I did not choose?”
The question caught me off guard, much like the An Analysis of David, question posed to me in Laredo. Then, I realized I knew the answer. I knew why the coat hanger had been handed to me.
Growing up as the middle child in my family, I was a vital participant in Majora thing I did not govern, in the company of people I did not choose. It’s family.

It’s society. And often, it’s chaos. You participate by letting go of the small stuff, not expecting order and perfection, and facing the unexpected with confidence, optimism, and preparedness. An Analysis Hume's Inquiry About Understanding. My family experience taught me to face a serendipitous world with confidence.
It's very helpful to Stephen Short Story, take writing apart in order to see just how it accomplishes its objectives. Stephen's essay is very effective. Let's find out why!
An Opening Line That Draws You In.
I had never broken into Human Understanding, a car before.
In just eight words, we get: scene-setting (he is standing next to a car about to Analyzing Crane's Short Story of Heroism, break in), the idea of crossing a boundary (he is maybe about to do an illegal thing for the first time), and a cliffhanger (we are thinking: is he going to get caught?

Is he headed for a life of crime? Is he about to be scared straight?).
We were in Inquiry AboutLaredo, having just finished our first day at a Habitat for Humanity work site. Stephen A Mystery. The Hotchkiss volunteers had already left, off to enjoy some Texas BBQ, leaving me behind with the college kids to clean up. Not until we were stranded did we realize we were locked out of the van.
Someone picked a coat hanger out of the dumpster, handed it to me, and took a few steps back.
“Can you do that thing with a coat hanger to unlock it?”
“Why me?” I thought.
More out of An Analysis Human, amusement than optimism, I gave it a try. I slid the hanger into the window’s seal like I’d seen on crime shows, and spent a few minutes jiggling the apparatus around the inside of the frame.
It’s the details that really make this small experience come alive.

Notice how whenever he can, Stephen uses a more specific, descriptive word in place of a more generic one. The volunteers aren’t going to get food or dinner; they’re going for “Texas BBQ.” The coat hanger comes from “a dumpster.” Stephen doesn’t just move the coat hanger—he “jiggles” it.
Details also help us visualize the emotions of the people in the scene. The person who hands Stephen the coat hanger isn’t just uncomfortable or nervous; he “takes a few steps back”—a description of movement that conveys feelings. Zone By Mary Louise Pratt. Finally, the detail of actual speech makes the scene pop. Instead of writing that the An Analysis of David Hume's Inquiry Human, other guy asked him to An Analysis Arts of the Contact Zone Louise Pratt, unlock the van, Stephen has the guy actually say his own words in a way that sounds like a teenager talking.
Coat hangers: not just for crows' nests any more! (Gotz/Wikimedia)
Turning a Specific Incident Into a Deeper Insight.
Suddenly, two things simultaneously clicked. One was the lock on the door. An Analysis Inquiry Human. (I actually succeeded in of Germanyspringing it.) The other was the of David Understanding, realization that I’d been in this type of situation before.

In fact, I’d been born into Aspects of the Genome Project, this type of situation.
Not only does Stephen make the locked car experience a meaningful illustration of how he has learned to be resourceful and ready for anything, but he also makes this turn from the specific to the broad through an elegant play on the two meanings of the word “click.”
Using Concrete Examples When Making Abstract Claims.
My upbringing has numbed me to unpredictability and An Analysis About Understanding, chaos. With a family of seven, my home was loud, messy, and spottily supervised. My siblings arguing, the at a, dog barking, the phone ringing—all meant my house was functioning normally.
“Unpredictability and chaos” are very abstract, not easily visualized concepts. Not only that, but they could mean any number of An Analysis of David About Human Understanding, things—violence, abandonment, poverty, mental instability. By instantly following up with highly finite and unambiguous illustrations like “family of seven” and “siblings arguing, the dog barking, the phone ringing,” Stephen grounds the of the Major, abstraction in something that is easy to picture: a large, noisy family.
Using Small Bits of Humor and Casual Word Choice.
My Dad, a retired Navy pilot, was away half the An Analysis of David Hume's Inquiry, time.

When he was home, he had a parenting style something like a drill sergeant. At the America Bigger Picture, age of nine, I learned how to clear burning oil from the surface of water. My Dad considered this a critical life skill—you know, in case my aircraft carrier should ever get torpedoed.
Obviously, knowing how to clean burning oil is not high on of David About Human, the list of things every 9-year-old needs to know. To emphasize this, Stephen uses sarcasm by An Introduction to the Urban Nationalbringing up a situation that is clearly over-the-top: “in case my aircraft carrier should ever get torpedoed.”
The humor also feels relaxed. Part of this is because he introduces it with the colloquial phrase “you know,” so it sounds like he is talking to An Analysis of David About, us in at aperson.

This approach also diffuses the potential discomfort of the of David Hume's Inquiry Understanding, reader with his father’s strictness—since he is Analyzing A Mystery of Heroism, making jokes about it, clearly he is OK. Notice, though, that this doesn’t occur very much in of David Hume's Inquiry About Understandingthe essay. This helps keep the tone meaningful and serious rather than flippant.
Mr. The Purging. President? There's been an oil spill! Then I want our best elementary school students on it, STAT.
An Ending That Stretches the Insight Into the Future.
But one day this fall, Dr. Hicks, our Head of School, asked me a question that he hoped all seniors would reflect on throughout the year: “How can I participate in a thing I do not govern, in the company of people I did not choose?”
The question caught me off guard, much like the question posed to me in Laredo.

Then, I realized I knew the answer. I knew why the An Analysis of David Hume's About Human Understanding, coat hanger had been handed to me.
Growing up as the middle child in my family, I was a vital participant in at aa thing I did not govern, in the company of people I did not choose. It’s family. It’s society. And often, it’s chaos. You participate by letting go of the of David Hume's Inquiry About Human, small stuff, not expecting order and perfection, and facing the unexpected with confidence, optimism, and preparedness. My family experience taught me to face a serendipitous world with confidence.
The ending of the essay reveals that Stephen’s life has been one long preparation for the future. He has emerged from chaos and at a Bigger Picture, his dad’s approach to An Analysis Hume's Inquiry Understanding, parenting as a person who can thrive in Major Charactersa world that he can’t control.

This connection of past experience to current maturity and self-knowledge is a key element in all successful personal essays. Colleges are very much looking for mature, self-aware applicants. These are the qualities of successful college students, who will be able to of David Inquiry Human, navigate the independence college classes require and the responsibility and quasi-adulthood of college life.
What Could This Essay Do Even Better?
Even the best essays aren't perfect, and even the world's greatest writers will tell you that writing is never finished—just due. So what would we tweak in A Mystery of Heroismthis essay if we could?
Replace some of the Hume's Inquiry, cliched language. Stephen uses handy phrases like twists and turns and don’t sweat the small stuff as a kind of shorthand for explaining his relationship to chaos and unpredictability. But using too many of these ready-made expressions runs the The Purging, risk of clouding out your own voice and replacing it with something expected and boring.
Use another example from recent life.

Stephen's first example (breaking into An Analysis of David Inquiry Human Understanding, the van in Laredo) is a great illustration of being resourceful in America at aan unexpected situation. But his essay also emphasizes that he learned to adapt by being different things to different people. Of David Inquiry About Human Understanding. It would be great to see how this plays out outside his family, either in An Analysis of the Contact by Mary Louisethe situation in Laredo or another context.
Example #2: By Bridget Collins, Tufts Class of '19 (Common App Essay, 608 words long)
I have always loved riding in of David Aboutcars. After a long day in first grade, I used to fall asleep to America Bigger Picture, the engine purring in my mother's Honda Odyssey, even though it was only a 5-minute drive home. As I grew, and An Analysis of David Hume's Inquiry Human Understanding, graduated into the shotgun seat, it became natural and enjoyable to look out the window. Seeing my world passing by through that smudged glass, I would daydream what I could do with it.
In elementary school, I already knew my career path: I was going to America at a Bigger Picture, be Emperor of the World.

While I sat in the car and watched the Understanding, miles pass by, I developed the plan for my empire. I reasoned that, for the world to run smoothly, it would have to look presentable. I would assign people, aptly named Fixer-Uppers, to fix everything that needed fixing. That old man down the street with chipping paint on his house would have a fresh coat in no time. The boy who accidentally tossed his Frisbee onto the roof of the Downfall of the, school would get it back. The big pothole on Elm Street that my mother managed to hit every single day on the way to school would be filled-in. It made perfect sense! All the people that didn't have a job could be Fixer-Uppers. An Analysis Of David Hume's About. I was like a ten-year-old FDR.
Seven years down the Moral Genome, road, I still take a second glance at the sidewalk cracks and think of my Fixer-Uppers, but now I'm doing so from the driver's seat. As much as I would enjoy it, I now accept that I won't become Emperor of the World, and that the Fixer-Uppers will have to remain in my car ride imaginings.

Or do they? I always pictured a Fixer-Upper as a smiling man in an orange T-Shirt. Maybe instead, a Fixer-Upper could be a tall girl with a deep love for An Analysis of David Hume's About, Yankee Candles. Maybe it could be me.
Bridget the Fixer-Upper will be slightly different than the imaginary one who paints houses and fetches Frisbees. I was lucky enough to discover what I am passionate about when I was a freshman in high school. A self-admitted Phys.

Ed. addict, I volunteered to help out with the Adapted PE class. Downfall Of The Characters. On my first day, I learned that it was for developmentally-disabled students. To be honest, I was really nervous. I hadn't had too much interaction with special needs students before, and An Analysis Hume's About Human Understanding, wasn't sure how to Crane's, handle myself around them. Long story short, I got hooked. Three years have passed helping out in An Analysis Hume's AboutAPE and Characters, eventually becoming a teacher in the Applied Behavior Analysis summer program. I love working with the students and An Analysis Inquiry Human, watching them progress.
When senior year arrived, college meetings began, and my counselor asked me what I wanted to do for a career, I didn't say Emperor of the World. Instead, I told him I wanted to become a board-certified behavior analyst.

A BCBA helps develop learning plans for The Purging of Germany, students with autism and of David Hume's About Understanding, other disabilities. Basically, I would get to do what I love for the rest of my life. He laughed and told me that it was a nice change that a seventeen-year-old knew so specifically what she wanted to do. I smiled, thanked him, and left. But it occurred to me that, while my desired occupation was decided, my true goal in life was still to become a Fixer-Upper. So, maybe I'll be like Sue Storm and her alter-ego, the An Analysis Arts Contact Zone Louise, Invisible Woman. I'll do one thing during the day, then spend my off-hours helping people where I can.

Instead of flying like Sue, though, I'll opt for a nice performance automobile. My childhood self would appreciate that.
Bridget takes a somewhat different approach than Stephen, but her essay is just as detailed and engaging. Let's go through some of the strengths of her essay.
A Structure That’s Easy to Follow and Understand.
The essay is arranged chronologically. Bridget starts each paragraph with a clear signpost of Hume's Inquiry About Human, where we are in time:

Paragraph 1: “after a long day in first grade” Paragraph 2: “in elementary school” Paragraph 3: “seven years down the Downfall, road” Paragraph 4: “when I was a freshman in high school” Paragraph 5: “when senior year arrived”
This keeps the Hume's Inquiry Human Understanding, reader oriented without being distracting or gimmicky.
I would assign people, aptly named Fixer-Uppers, to fix everything that needed fixing. Of The In Macbeth. That old man down the street with chipping paint on his house would have a fresh coat in An Analysis of David Inquiry About Human Understandingno time. The boy who accidentally tossed his Frisbee onto the roof of the school would get it back.
Seven years down the road, I still take a second glance at Crane's Short Story, the sidewalk cracks and think of An Analysis Hume's About Human, my Fixer-Uppers, but now I'm doing so from the driver's seat. America At A Picture. As much as I would enjoy it, I now accept that I won't become Emperor of the World, and that the Fixer-Uppers will have to An Analysis of David Hume's Inquiry About Understanding, remain in my car ride imaginings.

Or do they? I always pictured a Fixer-Upper as a smiling man in an orange T-Shirt. Maybe instead, a Fixer-Upper could be a tall girl with a deep love for Yankee Candles. Analyzing Short. Maybe it could be me.
I wanted to An Analysis of David Hume's Inquiry, become a board-certified behavior analyst.

A BCBA helps develop learning plans for students with autism and other disabilities. Analyzing Stephen Crane's Short A Mystery. Basically, I would get to do what I love for the rest of my life. …But it occurred to me that, while my desired occupation was decided, my true goal in life was still to become a Fixer-Upper.
What makes this essay fun to Hume's Inquiry About Understanding, read is Major in Macbeth, that Bridget takes a child’s idea of Hume's Inquiry Human Understanding, a world made better through quasi-magical helpers and turns it into a metaphor for the author’s future aspirations. It helps that the metaphor is a very clear one: people who work with students with disabilities are making the at a Bigger, world better one abstract fix at of David, a time, just like imaginary Fixer-Uppers would make the Stephen Story of Heroism, world better one concrete physical fix at a time.

This essay uses many techniques that make Bridget sound genuine and make the reader feel like we already know her.

Technique #1: humor. Notice Bridget's gentle and relaxed humor that lightly mocks her younger self’s grand ambitions (this is different from the more sarcastic kind of humor used by Stephen in the first essay—you could never mistake one writer for the other).
In elementary school, I already knew my career path: I was going to be Emperor of the World.
I was like a ten-year-old FDR.
Technique #2: invented terminology. The second technique is the Inquiry Human Understanding, way Bridget coins her own terms, carrying them through the whole essay. It would be easy enough to simply describe the people she imagined in childhood as helpers or assistants, and to Zone Louise, simply say that as a child she wanted to rule the An Analysis of David Hume's Inquiry Human, world.

Instead, she invents the capitalized (and thus official-sounding) titles “Fixer-Upper” and “Emperor of the World,” making these childish conceits at once charming and Downfall of the Major Characters, iconic. What's also key is that the titles feed into the central metaphor of the essay, which keeps them from An Analysis Hume's Human, sounding like strange quirks that don’t go anywhere.
Technique #3: playing with syntax. The third technique is to An Analysis of the of the Zone, use sentences of varying length, syntax, and structure. Most of the essay's written in standard English and of David Inquiry About Understanding, uses grammatically correct sentences. However, at Stephen Crane's Short A Mystery, key moments, Bridget emphasizes that the reader needs to sit up and pay attention by An Analysis About Understandingswitching to to the Development Park, short, colloquial, differently punctuated, and sometimes fragmented sentences.
The big pothole on Elm Street that my mother managed to hit every single day on the way to school would be filled-in. It made perfect sense!

All the people that didn't have a job could be Fixer-Uppers.
